Our mini vaca in Maine was quick, and mostly rainy, but fun nonetheless. Highlights from the trip (besides seeing my fam of course!) were the amazing restaurants we tried in Portland. First, we had a drink and a small mushroom pizza at the bar at Vignola, then an awesome dinner at Street & Co. (they have the simplest, yet perfect paper menu, not to mention the best lemon sponge pudding EVER) followed up by breakfast at Becky's Diner the next morning. I would definitely go back to all three, but especially loved Vignola for it's great interior and ambiance, and the stellar menu filled with organic cheeses, olives, pizza, micro brews and wine.
We drove up to Augusta today and on the way home stopped into the Hallowell (a small town nearby) antique market. Quality, selection and prices were pretty good - mostly wood with a few industrial/metal pieces mixed in. They had several mismatched antique and vintage chairs, trunks and wooden chests and one of my favorites - an antique drop leaf table that would be beautiful as a console. I bought a good sized vintage wooden trunk with brass details on the exterior - will add pics soon.
